Background to the frequency dictionaries

When compiling words for the upon mentioned frequency dictionaries, the most common language usage areas were chosen. These are the press, the legislation, and other similar areas of thematic use. In that aspect the frequency dictionaries attempt to cover 90-95% of the commonly used lexical composition of the texts.

It is assumed that the modern Georgian language contains 55-60.000 words. This is called the general lexical volume. However, according to linguists it takes only a couple of thousand words to be able to express everything; if even in an awkward fashion.
